Juče mi je prijateljica prosledila link na novu kolekciju modne kuće Dolce & Gabbana, koja me navela na razmišljanje o komercijalizaciji raznoraznih neočekivanih motiva. Skoro cela kolekcija za 2014. godinu je inspirisana pravoslavnim freskama i ikonama, kao i različitim pravoslavnim religijskim motivima (kako Nataša reče, izgleda da su u pitanju motivi iz katoličke katedrale, mada mene jako podsećaju na freske koje viđamo po pravoslavnim crkvama, ali ja nisam nikakav znalac).
Na prvi pogled, pomislih - kakav kič! Međutim, uložih izvestan napor da sagledam kolekciju objektivnije, trudeći se da zanemarim svoje lično mišljenje o religiji (koje ovde ne želim da iznosim), kao i osećaj da manekenke nose slike pravoslavnih svetaca na sebi i podsećaju na moderne časne sestre. Nakon tog, mentalnog napora, haljine su mi bile manje kičaste, neke su mi bile čak i lepe, ali je stav da ništa slično ne bih obukla ostao.
Šta vi mislite o ovoj kolekciji? Da li biste nosili ovakvu garderobu, i da li se ovakav koncept suštinski razlikuje od eksploatacije arapskih arabeski?
A friend of mine sent me a link to new collection of Dolce & Gabbana, which made me think of commercial use of some rather unexpected motifs. Almost all collection for 2014 is inspired by orthodox frescoes and icons, as well as various orthodox religious motifs (the frescoes appear to be from a Catholic cathedral, though they remind me of orthodox frescoes, but I am no specialist on the subject).
My first thought was - it's such a kitsch! However, I made a certain effort to look at the collection more objectively, trying to disregard my personal opinion on religion (which I\m not going to discuss on here), as well as a feeling the models are wearing paintings of orthodox saints and they remind of modern nuns. After this mental effort the garments were less kitsch to me, however it didn't change my mind - I would never wear such a dress.
What do you think of the collection? Would you wear these garments, and does this concept anyhow differs from exploitation of the Arabic arabesques?
